The Republican Party presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has said some very scary things during this whole year. It has gotten particularly bad since the Republican Convention. Donald Trump is even leaking classified information.
The French President, Francois Hollande has said what many of us are feeling right about now. He said this to a reporter:
“His excesses make you want to retch, even in the United States, especially when — as was Donald Trump’s case — he speaks ill of a soldier, of the memory of a soldier.”
The soldier he is speaking of is Humayun Khan. His father spoke out against Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention. Trump replied back saying that they were faking their story. He also mused as to why Khan’s mother wasn’t speaking. He thought that she wasn’t allowed to talk. She said:
“Mr. Trump, feel that pain and you will feel better. Please. I am very upset when I heard when he said that I didn’t say anything. I was in pain. If you were in pain you fight or you don’t say anything, I’m not a fighter, I can’t fight. So the best thing I do was quiet.”
This is not the first time that President Hollande has lashed out against Trump. Last week, after a priest was killed in Normandy, Donald Trump said:
“France is no longer France.”
Hollande said:
“France will always be France. It never gives up, because it still bears ideals, values, principles that are recognized worldwide, and it’s when you lower your standards that you are no longer what you are. That’s something that may happen to others, on the other side of the Atlantic.”
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said:
“Donald Trump is stupid. My God he’s stupid. My God.”
Trump’s son wrote to a Parliament member, Natalie McGarry, in Scotland, and she gloriously slammed him:
“Quite why you think it appropriate to write emails to UK parliamentarians with a begging bowl for your father’s repugnant campaign is completely beyond me. Given his rhetoric on migrants, refugees and immigration, it seems quite extraordinary that he would be asking foreign nationals for money; especially people who view his dangerous divisiveness with horror.”
Many other world leaders have said plenty of things about Donald Trump.
Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud said:
“You [Trump] are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America. Withdraw from the U.S. presidential race as you will never win.”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said:
“Donald Trump’s ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe: It risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of the extremists.”
Hopefully, Trump will bail out of the race. This ignorant blowhard would cause World War III.
